About University

Kyung Hee Cyber University is a pioneer of online higher education in Korea and a hub for future-oriented academic studies that encompass both theory and practical skills. Located in Seoul, Kyung Hee Cyber University began its long-standing history in the main building of Kyung Hee University, which was constructed in 1953 and completed in 1956. By extending the tradition and network of the prestigious offline Kyung Hee University into the online realm, the university is designed to provide world-class education to anyone, regardless of time and space constraints. True to the symbolism of the name ‘Kyung Hee,’ the university pursues the convergence of education, culture, and research, focusing on nurturing talent that will lead real-world society. The greatest strengths of Kyung Hee Cyber University are its practice-oriented curriculum, diverse majors, and close cooperation with industries. The university operates 17 departments across the fields of humanities, social sciences, culture, arts, and IT, and offers uniquely specialized majors among cyber universities, such as K-Entertainment, International Business, Convergent Contents, and American Culture & English. For example, in the Department of K-Entertainment, students can develop core competencies for the Korean Wave industry—such as practical music, performance planning, and cultural content—directly with professors who have abundant field experience. The university also supports obtaining various professional certificates and practical training in fields such as business interpretation and translation, IT, information technology, and Korean culture. Over 80% of students are working professionals or have social experience, which highlights the university’s strong focus on practical career development. Through domestic and international industry-academic cooperation and the operation of global research institutes (such as e-learning foreign language education, Korean culture, and multicultural studies), the university combines both field relevance and internationality. Kyung Hee Cyber University is also notable for being one of the cyber universities in Korea that has produced the most well-known celebrities and broadcasters. Numerous celebrities from various fields, such as singer Baek Ji-young, comedian Kim Tae-gyun, and actress Jang Seo-hee, have enhanced their expertise here while balancing work and study. This alumni network, active in popular culture, business, education, and other fields, serves as a strong role model and practical support system for current students. The reputation, network, and connections with various affiliated institutions—including Kyung Hee Medical Center—of offline Kyung Hee University are also sources of the university’s unique social influence. Support for international students is also highly systematic. Centered around the Global Education Support Team, Kyung Hee Cyber University provides a comprehensive support system for international students, including visas, scholarships, and daily life guidance. The university offers a variety of scholarships, such as those for academic excellence, TOPIK (Test of Proficiency in Korean) scores, and the KHU-PASS core competency certification for international students. Its strengths also include internationalized educational infrastructure such as English-taught courses, exchange programs, and business interpretation and translation certification courses. While official confirmation is required regarding IEQAS (Ministry of Education International Education Quality Assurance System) certification, the support team provides practical assistance with visas, scholarships, and more. Dormitory and living facilities, various student support programs, and dedicated counseling for international students are also available, allowing students new to Korea to settle in with confidence. The campus is located in the heart of Seoul, offering convenient transportation and direct access to a wide range of cultural, artistic, and research infrastructure. Leveraging the characteristics of a cyber university, a variety of student activities—including online lectures, offline events, networking, and clubs—are actively operated. Tuition is about one-third to one-quarter that of regular universities, significantly reducing the financial burden while allowing students to earn both a degree and practical experience.
